Why does my triangle not display after being transformed by glm::lookAt matrix?

I'm trying to display my triangle from different camera viewpoints. To do this, I'm using the glm::lookAt() function which creates a 4x4 matrix that you can use to transform your points. This seems to be working fine and as intended when I specify a camera position (arg1) where x, y, and z are all <= 1.0 such as view = glm::lookAt(glm::vec3(0.0, 0.0f, 1.0), glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), glm::vec3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f));. However, if I specify a camera position such as view = glm::lookAt(glm::vec3(0.0, 0.0f, 2.0), glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), glm::vec3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f)); where the camera is a little farther back it doesn't display the shape at all. Why is this the case, in all the tutorials I am following the shape still displays? My draw code (in a loop) : //bind buffers and stuff glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glm::mat4 view; view = glm::lookAt(glm::vec3(2.0, 1.0f, 1.0), glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), glm::vec3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f)); GLint viewLoc = glGetUniformLocation(sp, "view"); glUniformMatrix4fv(viewLoc, 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(view)); glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0); My vertex shader code: (Note: in a string and loaded from this string) const char* vertexShaderData = "#version 450 n" "layout(location = 0) in vec3 vp;" "layout(location = 1) in vec3 color;" "layout (location = 2) in vec2 texCoord;n" "out vec3 Color;" "out vec2 TexCoords;n" "uniform mat4 view;n" "void main(){" "Color=color;" "TexCoords = texCoord;" "gl_Position = view * vec4(vp, 1.0);" "}"; Points data: (first 3 floats in each line are the actual verticies) static GLfloat data[] = { 0.75f, 0.75f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.75f, 0.75f, 0.75f, -0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.75f, -0.75f, -0.75f, -0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, -0.75f, -0.75f, -0.75f, 0.75f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -0.75f, 0.75f, -0.75f, -0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, -0.75f, -0.75f, 0.75f, 0.75f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.75f, 0.75f, }; I know everything else is working btw, shaders both are working/linked. Normal transformations with roation/translation matrices are working. Without any transformations, the shapes are being drawn correctly.
